Apple prepping 32GB iPhone 3.0?

Alleged specs indicate 3.2Mp camera and 600MHz CPU

What you need to know about cloud backup

As Apple addicts gear-up for the its Worldwide Developers Conference next month, specifications have appeared online suggesting that Apple may have upped the iPhone’s storage capacity to 32GB.

Will the next iPhone come with 32GB of storage?

The info comes from a Chinese website’s publication of an iPhone ‘About’ screenshot. Admittedly a Photoshop mock-up’s possible, but if you believe what you’re seeing then the next iPhone will feature a massively upped storage capacity.

The site also published a few additional specifications. These include a 200MHz CPU speed increase to 600MHz and a jump from 128MB of memory to 256MB.

Other leaked features worth noting include reference to a 3.2Mp camera with auto-focus, a digital compass – a rumour that’s already gained traction elsewhere – and FM radio support. ®

"Also I do not like the fact you cannot sync with more than one computer. As I do use my ibook more than my imac. and would be nice to use any of them for backups etc"

In PC+Windows XP world you can. I have a company laptop that I can sync my iphone to just as easily as my home desktop.

What's more annoying than anything else about the iphone is that I can't use Itunes with Ubuntu without doing some wine based jiggery pokery that doesn't work very well. I really want to dump my XP install, but I have to keep a Ubuntu/XP dual boot so I can use iTunes.

Does that scare the fanboys on here? I'm a Linux and an iTunes user? Surely that can't happen.

"again leaving the iphone to play catchup."

Don't make me larf!

Every manufacturer on the face of the earth has been trying to play catchup with the iPhone ever since its introduction. A 5mp camera might be important for you ... most people use a camera.

I have no problem with folk choosing whichever phone they like but please give us some proper reasons ... IT"S THE WAY IT WORKS that makes it so good, not the 'features'.

Even when iPhone 3.0 is introduced there'll be people who say "Ah yes, but it doesn't kiss my girlfriend/boyfriend like my Noky-Erikola."

What is a phone for?

> By Vision Aforethought

> Remember, for all it's brilliance, the iPhone is not a very good phone!

Good point! This is exactly what I have heard. The actual PHONE performance of the iPhone is mediocre at best. Is this not the reason one buys a phone for? Or is it the shiny good looks you get from playing with it? Like having a hot girlfriend with a bad lisp. Great to look at and touch but hurts your ears when she tries to talk.

Don't worry guys, the little green robot is on it's way. We'll have the openness and performance that we are all looking for without having a nagging parent on our backs imposing curfews and telling us what we can or can't do on our phones. Change is coming!
